Application Considerations
Condenser Water Temperatures
With the model RTHD chiller, condenser head pressure control at unit start is necessary only if the
leaving condenser water temperature does not result in a unit pressure differential above a set minimum
within a given time period. When needed, a variety of system implementation options are available to
control the unit operating conditions for the purpose of refrigerant differential pressure control.
When the application requires start-up temperatures below the prescribed minimums, a variety of
system implementation options are available. Here are two recommended methods to control the unit
operating conditions for the purpose of refrigerant differential pressure control.
1. Condenser Entering Water Temperature Control
• Tower bypass may also be a valid control method if the chiller temperature requirements can be
maintained and the loop is small.
2. Condenser Water Flow Control
• To control a 2-way or 3-way valve, select the Condenser Regulating Valve Control option for the
Symbio™ 800 controls. This option enables the Symbio 800 controls to send an analog
electronic signal for opening and closing the valve as necessary to maintain chiller differential
refrigerant pressure.
The minimum acceptable refrigerant pressure differential between condenser and evaporator is 23 psid
(158.6 kPa) at all load conditions in order to ensure adequate oil circulation. The condenser and
evaporator pressure differential must be 15 psid (103.4 kPa) within 2 minutes of start up. This equates
to the condenser leaving water temperature being 14°F (7.8°C) higher than evaporator leaving water
temperature within 2 minutes of start-up at typical operating conditions.
Trane chillers start and operate successfully and reliably over a range of load conditions with controlled
condenser pressure. Reducing the condenser water temperature is an effective method of lowering
chiller power input required, but the ideal temperature for optimizing total system power consumption
will depend on the overall system dynamics. From a system perspective, some improvements in chiller
efficiency may be offset by the increased tower fan and pumping costs required to achieve the lower
tower temperatures. Contact your local Trane systems solution provider for more information on
optimizing system performance.

Variable Evaporator Flow and Short Evaporator Water Loops

Variable evaporator flow is an energy-saving design strategy which has quickly gained acceptance as
advances in chiller and controls technology have made it possible. With its superior unloading
compressor design and advanced chiller controls, the chiller has excellent capability to maintain leaving
water temperature control within +/-0.5°F (0.28°C), even for systems with variable evaporator flow.
Some basic rules should be followed whenever using these system design and operational savings
methods with the chiller. The proper location of the chilled water temperature control sensor is in the
supply (outlet) water. This location allows the building to act as a buffer, and it assures a slowly
changing return water temperature. If there is insufficient water volume in the system to provide an
adequate buffer, temperature control can be lost, resulting in erratic system operation and excessive
compressor cycling. To ensure consistent operation and tight temperature control, the chilled water loop
should be at least two minutes. If this recommendation cannot be followed, and tight leaving water
temperature control is necessary, a storage tank or larger header pipe should be installed to increase
the volume of water in the system.
For variable primary flow (VPF) applications, the rate of chilled water flow change should not exceed 10
percent of design per minute to maintain +/-0.5°F (0.28°C) leaving evaporator temperature control. For
applications in which system energy savings is most important and tight temperature control is classified
as +/-2°F (1.1°C), up to 30 percent change in flow per minute are possible. Flow rates should be
maintained between the minimum and maximum allowed for any particular chiller configuration.
With the help of a software analysis tool such as TRACE® 3D Plus or myPLV®, you can determine
whether the anticipated energy savings justify the use of variable primary flow in a particular application.
Existing constant flow chilled water systems may be relatively easily converted to VPF and benefit
greatly from the inherent efficiency advantages.

 Application Considerations

Series Chiller Arrangements

Another energy-saving strategy is to design the system around chillers arranged in series, on the
evaporator, condenser, or both. It is possible to operate a pair of chillers more efficiently in a series
chiller arrangement than in a parallel arrangement. It is also possible to achieve higher entering-to-
leaving chiller differentials, which may, in turn, provide the opportunity for lower chilled water design
temperature, lower design flow, and resulting installation and operational cost savings (including
downsizing a chiller).
The Trane screw compressor also has excellent “lift” capabilities which afford an opportunity for savings
on the evaporator and condenser water loops. Like series arrangements on the evaporator, series
arrangements on the condenser may enable savings. This approach may allow reductions in pump and
tower installation and operating costs.
Maximizing system efficiency requires that the designer balance performance considerations for all
system components; the best approach may or may not involve multiple chillers, or series arrangement
of the evaporators and/or condensers. This ideal balance of design integrity with installation and
operating cost considerations should be researched by consulting a Trane systems solutions provider
and applying the Trace® 3D Plus building energy and economic analysis program.

Dry Cooler
The RTHD can be used with dry coolers. Generally this application is selected to minimize the spread of
airborne contaminates associated with open tower systems. In addition, other drawbacks of cooling
towers are avoided: water consumption, production of vapor, need of water treatment, etc. Another
benefit of dry coolers is the ability to operate in low ambient conditions. With the use of a third party heat
exchanger this design can also be used to provide free cooling to the chilled water loop during cold
weather.

Heat Recovery
At a time when energy costs are high and continue to rise, reducing energy usage has become
increasingly important and in some instances required by building energy codes. By using a RTHD
chiller with heat recovery, utilization of energy can be improved by using heat from the condenser that
would otherwise be wasted. Leaving condenser water control option provides the ability to control the
heating setpoint up to 114°F (45.56°C) for R134a and 111°F (43.88°C) for R513A.
The use of heat recovery should be considered in any building with simultaneous heating and cooling
requirements or in facilities where heat can be stored and used at a later time. Buildings with high year-
round internal cooling loads are excellent opportunities for heat recovery. Heat recovery can be

using it in conjunction with a third party heat exchanger.

Water Treatment
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in chillers may result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, and
algae or slime buildup. It is recommended that the services of a qualified water treatment specialist be
engaged to determine what treatment, if any, is advisable.

Water Pumps
Where noise limitation and vibration-free operation are important, customers can use 1750-rpm (60 Hz)
[1450-rpm (50 Hz)] pumps. Specifying or using fixed speed 3600-rpm (60 Hz) [3000-rpm (50 Hz)]
condenser water and chilled water pumps should be avoided, because such pumps may operate with
objectionable levels of noise and vibration. It is beneficial to use variable speed water pumps to turn the
system into one that uses a lower flow rate some of the time, and a higher flow rate at other times. This
strategy is commonly referred to as variable water flow. Trane chiller controls can work in harmony with
a building automation system to adjust cooling tower fan speed, water pump speed and chiller speed
simultaneously to result in the chiller system working as a whole at the most efficient operating point.
Note: The chilled water pump must not be used to stop the chiller.

Acoustic Considerations

System Integration
Tracer SC
The Tracer® SC system controller acts as the central coordinator for all individual equipment devices on
a Tracer® building automation system. The Tracer®SC scans all unit controllers to update information
and coordinate building control, including building subsystems such as VAV and chiller water systems.
With this system option, the full breadth of Trane’s HVAC and controls experience are applied to offer
solutions to many facility issues. The LAN allows building operators to manage these varied
components as one system from any personal computer with web access. The benefits of this system
are:

18 RLC-PRC020L-EN
 Controls

• Improved usability with automatic data collection, enhanced data logging, easier to create graphics,
simpler navigation, pre-programmed scheduling, reporting, and alarm logs.
• Flexible technology allows for system sizes from 30 to 120 unit controllers with any combination of
LonTalk® or BACnet® unit controllers.
• LEED certification through site commissioning report, energy data collection measurement,
optimizing energy performance, and maintaining indoor air quality.
Energy savings programs include: fan pressure optimization, ventilation reset, and chiller plant control
(adds and subtracts chillers to meet cooling loads).

Hardwire Points
Microcomputer controls allow simple interface with other control systems, such as time clocks, building
automation systems, and ice storage systems via hardwire points. This means you have the flexibility to
meet job requirements while not having to learn a complicated control system.
Remote devices are wired from the control panel to provide auxiliary control to a building automation
system. Inputs and outputs can be communicated via a typical 4–20 mA electrical signal, an equivalent
2–10 Vdc signal, or by utilizing contact closures.
This setup has the same features as a stand-alone water chiller, with the possibility of having additional
optional features:
• Ice making control.
• External chilled water setpoint, external demand limit setpoint.
• Chilled water temperature reset.
• Programmable relays - available outputs are: alarm-latching, alarm-auto reset, general alarm-
warning, chiller limit mode, compressor running, and Tracer® control.

Building Automation Systems

BACnet Building Automation Control Network
The BACnet® control network for Symbio™ 800 expands communications from the unit controls
network to the Tracer® Ensemble™ or Tracer® SC+ building automation system (BAS) or third party
building automation system. Utilizing BACnet, the BAS allows external setpoint and configuration
adjustment and monitoring of status and diagnostics. The Symbio 800 utilizes the BACnet defined TP
protocol as defined in ASHRAE standard 135-2004. This controller works in standalone mode, with
Tracer Ensemble, Tracer SC+ or when connected to a third party building automation system that
supports BACnet.

Modbus Automation Control Network

Allows the user to easily interface with Modbus® RTU communication protocol via a single twisted pair
wiring or Modbus® TCP over Ethernet from the Symbio™ 800 controller to a factory installed device.

LonTalk Building Automation Systems

The LonTalk® communication protocol for the Symbio™ 800 controller expands communications from
the unit controls network to a Tracer® Ensemble™ building automation system or third party building
automation system. Utilizing LonTalk, the BAS allows external setpoint and configuration adjustment
and monitoring of status and diagnostics. The Symbio 800 utilizes an FTT-10A free topology
transceiver, which supports non-polarity sensitive, free topology wiring—which in turn allows the system
installer to utilize star, bus, and loop architectures. This controller works in standalone mode, peer-to-
peer with one or more other units, or when connected to a Tracer Ensemble, Tracer SC+, or a third party
building automation system that supports LonTalk.

Air-Fi® Wireless Communication Interface (WCI Indoor)

Factory installed wireless interface provides wireless communication to Air-Fi® wireless sensors,
service tools, equipment controls, and building controller.

(c) The RLA @ Max kW is based on the performance of the motor developing full rated horsepower.

Electrical Data Table Information

Compressor motor electrical data is provided in Table 4, p. 21 for each compressor size. Rated load
amperes (RLA), locked rotor wye amperes (LRA) and expected inrush for the Wye-delta configurations
are shown.
Although the terms “LRA” and “expected inrush” are often used interchangeably, the distinction applied
here is that LRA is the rated inrush for the motor, but expected inrush is that allowed by the starter,
based on the specific configuration. Selecting starters in the Wye-delta configuration lowers expected
inrush vs. the across-the-line configuration.
The RLA is based on the motor’s performance when reaching full rated horsepower. The kW rating of
the motor will equal or exceed the kW requirement indicated by the Trane® Select Assist™ selection
program at design conditions. If motor kW draw at design conditions is less than the kW rating of the
motor, the RLA at design conditions is determined by multiplying the motor RLA (at the desired voltage)
by this ratio: design kW/ motor kW rating. This calculation is performed within the computer selection
program, making RLA available as part of the design predictions. Predicted values include power factor
variation from point to point.
Optimus™ chillers are designed to operate satisfactorily over a utilization range of ±10 percent of the
standard design voltages: 200V, 230V, 380V, 460V, and 575V for 60 Hertz, 3-phase.
